Giveaway: get creative with Caseable

05th March 2013

This isn’t the first time I’ve worked with Caseable on the blog, they provided me with a snazzy kindle cover back in October and then allowed me to give something away a few days later.
To celebrate the arrival of Spring and to treat you folks to an early Easter treat I have another chance for you to design a gadget case of your choice. You can choose from pre-made designs or get creative and come up with your own for whichever piece of technology you feel needs an update- for me it’d be my iPad, it’s in dire need of a makeover!

To enter this giveaway all you need to do is follow these simple steps:

Sign up to the Caseable newsletter (this will also give you a £5 credit towards your first order, hurrah!)
Leave a comment on this blog post telling me what you’d come up with if you won, + leave me a way to contact you if you win
Get your entry in by Tuesday 12th March, 7pm UK time.
It’s that simple!
Good luck. The winner will be announced a few days later once Caseable have confirmed newsletter sign up.

confirmed cat lady

04th March 2013

Crazy Cat Lady jumper c/o Skip N’ Whistle
Skirt: Zara
Shoes: Bertie c/o Sarenza
I’m fairly certain this is the best jumper in the world, ever and I’m eternally grateful to Skip ‘N Whistle for bringing it in to my life. Not only does it sum me up perfectly it also hands down the comfiest, slouchest jumper I own meaning I am pretty much guaranteed to live in it until it falls apart.
Monday has rolled around once again, where do weekends go? It was a pretty good one I must say,  plenty of time spent with friends, yummy food and far, far too much coffee (even by my standards…the caffiene crash was spectacular!)
I’m ready to embrace what should *fingers crossed* be a quieter week ahead, I’ve probably 100% jinxed myself by saying that though. Counting down to next weekend’s adventures, a theatre trip to see the Full Monty? Hurry up Saturday!
What’s on your agenda this week?

Sarenza Sunday- double up with Dune

03rd March 2013

It’s like Sarenza is out to get me and make me skint by adding these Monochrome beauties by Dune to their latest arrivals. How beautifully chic are these? I love the fact there’s an option for both the heel lovers and the flat fans.
The heeled version is called Benefit (and I can see many to these shoes) and costs £80. These seem to me the perfect work shoe and cost per wear will be next to nothing by the time A/W starts arriving in the shops!
The flats are called Maddoxs and cost £50. Perfect for those who love the look but can’t master heels these will go with pretty much anything you want them do and negate the sore foot issue.
Well, 
that’s my trend radar well and truly sated for now, three posts where I feature something that’s “in” right now?! It feels strange, but I like it. This doesn’t mean I’ll be dressing top to toe in every trend going but I may make more effort to pay attention to and embrace what I like rather than let it all pass me by like the bad blogger I have been!
Are you a flats girl or heels lover?

neon lights

02nd March 2013

Jumper: Matalan
Jeans: Oasis
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell c/o Sarenza (in the sale here)
On Tuesday best friend and I went on a post-work trip down to our nearest Matalan, I had in mind that I might buy a new dress for the office (they have some amazing ones on the website) but within seconds of walking in the store I was blinded by this neon pink jumper and after debating it (loudly) whilst pottering I was persuaded to make the purchase. At £14 it was hardly extravagant and despite my reservations over whether I could pull off the colour I’m smitten. I went up a size to get a more relaxed fit. I probably should have put a top under it, but what’s a little bra between friends? Like I said yesterday, I’m not usually one to jump on a trend bandwagon, but I am enjoying this one!

Off on more adventures with best friend today, I never tire of spending time with her. We’re only off to Sainsburys on a comic relief merchandise mission but it’ll still end up being a giggle. Other than that I plan a lazy Saturday- a bit of time on the air walker, a hair wash and I may go so far as to  paint my nails seeing as I keep finding new polishes to buy.

What are you up to?

mono-mad

01st March 2013

Jumper and Skirt both New Look
Boots: Yull
Hat: H&M
So, these photos really are rubbish- an experiment with early morning lighting but at the same time they kind of fit the theme of the post and so I’m sharing them regardless.
I’m not usually one to jump on trend bandwagons, I barely pay attention to them and buy what I think suits me instead…this season seems to be a little different though, there are several trends I’m really enjoying and one of those is monochrome. There’s something about the clean cut styles and bold contrast between black and white that really appeals to me. I have very chalk and cheese taste though, my second favourite trend is neon.
Another change for me is that I’m not usually a Topshop girl. I can usually quite happily take it or leave it whilst other bloggers fawn over every new arrival (this isn’t a criticism folks!) However my search for my favourite monochrome items on the high street led me to one place and one place only…behold!

This was just the tiniest selection of what I’m craving. All I need now is the Topshop budget; I find their prices hard to swallow at times…how do other people do it?

Happy March people; Spring is on it’s way!
